Calfab dust seals
« on: April 11, 2020, 07:11:07 AM »
What are the guys with calfab swing arms using for dust seals at the pivot? I can turn something up but would like to have a rubber seal if possible.

I took out most of the rubber seals from the stock seal, and packed it with waterproof grease.
This has worked for 2500km. I have not removed the swing-arm to check what the status is though.

Not Calfab, and I'm not sure how it mounts, so no idea if this will help.

With my CMR arm we use a large o-ring to seal between the alloy bearing holder and the arm. The o-ring covers a gap that is 1/16" or so. Simple & effective.
